Telford was decent. Ran his heart out worked his butt off. Some very clever link up play with some great lay offs. Lack of game time showed second half as he tired but I agree his all round play was good

this he played really well today!

They should’ve scored when their winger cut inside, then the pull back to Spence balloms ir, we got a good break away goal today but apart from that nothing again. We’ve not got over the half way line second half we’ve just sat in our defensive has just hoofed it forward to Dom Telford who’s 5 foot which is no offence to him. They deserved the draw, the goal he’s fell over but regardless that was a bad performance, never an advocate of getting rid of a manager but after the new manager bounce we’ve been terrible, the next run of fixtures too interesting times….!

Think he needs to be gone in December if nothing changes.
The buck stops with him.

We are two points off the play offs get a grip man. It's not as if we are three points adrift at the foot of the table.

Agreed. We shouldn't be changing manager unless we really are in the dog dirt. That's why I didn't agree with the change in the summer, although I could understand the Board's point of view at the time - he'd been backed two seasons in succession and if anything last season's capitulation was worse than the first. I was fearful of a big hangover as a result of that leading into this season. Someone would need to do a good job of convincing me we'd be any better this season under Wild, a lot of the criticisms now are the same as what were levelled at him. We saw out a lot of games similar to today, but we arguably had worse runs of form in the context of where we were in the season.

Sense at last!

If we were in Morecambes shoes, then absolutely let's talk about managerial positions but as it stands, we are not in that position. We are in realm terms, a few points off playoff places and YES we are having a dip but we are not loosing too much ground yet.
I still think that the Chelsea game took it's toll on us and we have suffered since. Great for the publicity, excitement and payday but not great for the league.
This season there is nothing in it from top to bottom and I doubt we will have one or two running away with it come May but for us, we have to stick together, we must not turn on the team or manager just yet and ride these bumps in the road. We all wanted total football and we have definitely played better in some games but now I think it's time the team rolled the sleeves up and stated to win ugly if needs be.
I'm an ideal world we would be in maximum points but reality is, it's football and unfortunately we have to accept it's not a given right to simply have three points every single game.
A point is a point and it's better than no point at all!

Keep the faith, it will turn its corner and we will click and kick in again!

Happy to eat my words but a similar thing happened at Gillingham and sideways passing, can you realistically see us getting in the playoffs now the league is setting down after 15 games? We sat in last year under Wild but at least we had a threat going forward, albeit apart from the end of the season. We just don’t create anything and anyone who says otherwise I question what game they’re watching, solid at the back again one of the best in the league but one of the worse scoring and don’t score don’t win. We won’t go down but stinks of mid table mediocrity and zero improvement from last year

Good question. When we had a bad result under Mark Cooper he'd generally mention the fact it was windy etc. Pete Wild would generally just refer to bumps in the road. Stephen Clemence generally makes good points about what went wrong and today was no exception. I hope that means he can sort it but it doesn't always follow.
